Google is your friend. It took me 20 seconds ( I type slowly) to find this:

Hello,

I am trying to find critical values tables for Mann Whitney U test to see whether my results are significant. My n1 sample=20 and n2=21. All the tables I have found only seem to go up to 20. I have been told they do go up further but cannot seem to find the critical value tables anywhere.

I have looked on the website that is posted above but doesnt offer any help to me.

Thank you
Sophia

Ok your values are hard to find in a table. That is why I was suggesting to use a software that could calculate your values. On the linked site you already see how large the table is, so imagine for 175! Nevertheless they provide the code to do the calculation (If you know, not like me, how to compile and run it).

I remeber that the book "Biometry" had quite extensive table of critical value at the end, maybe you will find your answer in your library in this or any other biostatistics book.
